Trongsa Sightseeing
Trongsa - The Vanguard of the Warriors, is situated on a steep ridge and offers spectacular views of the deep valleys surrounding it. The various hotels, guesthouses and restaurants all offer stunning views from their balconies.
Major attractions of Trongsa are:
Chendebji Chorten
En route to Trongsa is Chendebji Chorten, patterned on Kathmandu’s Swayambhunath Stupa, with eyes painted at the four cardinal points.
Trongsa Ta Dzong
This watchtower, which once guarded Trongsa Dzong from internal rebellion, stands on a promontory above the town. A visit to this former watchtower provides visitors with an insight into the significance of Trongsa in Bhutan’s history. As of date the Ta Dzong of Trongsa is the most fascinating museum of the nation.
